I'm Not Dead
Damn, it's been one helluva year so far. A lot of shit's been going down, sorry for the nonresponsiveness of postings. Well I'm formatting and reinstalling a computer for a friend right now and in this post I'm giving the low down of the programs put on it.
To start us off we have to format it though which I used a program called DBAN, I've talked about this before so look for it.
Next we go to the OS, I tried a few different ones but settled back with Windows XP simply because of program compatibility. A few that I did try were ReactOS, which was possibly the most decent tiny os I've seen in a long time, DSLinux, not the linx os for the Nintendo DS but rather damn small linux, and some random other one a friend told me to try but I didn't like it...poor compatibility.
Anyway, we move on to some of the basic programs. First Norton for an antivirus. Then some cd burning software so I used both Nero and Alcohol 120%. Both good programs and both have their own uses. Next I'm going for some internet associated software. First a browser with the newest Firefox. Netlimiter for the periods in which personal bandwidth must be limited. Finally some random downloading software.
Besides that we're gonna hack the start button and other as well as a few other things and voila, pc is done.

ReactOS is a nice little program, doesn't support NTFS yet tho.
This is very true because the specification for NTFS is not open, and so could never be guaranteed to be compatible with Microsoft's implementations. On the other hand if an open fs is given bootable support, which can be done with ReactOS, then applications could still talk to the fs.
